I know we've already had a discussion on the naming of the pg_restore -m option, but in any case this description in pg_restore --help is confusing:
-m, --multi-thread=NUM use this many parallel connections to restore Either it is using that many threads in the client, or it is using that many connections to the server. I assume the implementation does approximately both, but we should be clear about what we promise to the user. Either: Reserve this many connections on the server. Or: Reserve this many threads in the kernel of the client. The documentation in the reference/man page is equally confused. Also, the term "multi" is redundant, because whether it is multi or single is obviously determined by the value of NUM. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
